Attach accounts created in IRIS Elements Tax and Accounts to tax returns

If you're using IRIS Elements Tax and Accounts to finalise your accounts, you don't need to download the accounts to attach them to the CT600. The computation is attached automatically when the return is filed.

Attach accounts to an existing return

  1. Go to Clients > Client list and find the required client.

  2. On the Accounts widget on the client dashboard, select the required accounts.

  1. Select the Check & File tab and clear any errors.

  2. Mark the accounts as approved.

    Accounts can still be amended at any point up to submission to Companies House.

  3. Select Attach. If you haven't already created a tax return, you will be prompted to create one.

  4. Select Update amounts to Tax Return.

  5. On the Trade Summary tab, check the values have transferred across correctly, and select Save changes.

  6. You can now continue and complete the CT600 return as required.

    If you haven’t already entered the corporation tax, this does not automatically feedback to the accounts. You need to enter the corporation tax manually.

  7. If changes are made to the accounts after they have been attached, you can re-attach the adjusted accounts to the return.
